I wonder what they've done with the combat - I love this game so much, but the combat could get a bit monotonous. Even if they didn't fix it, it'll be fantastic - the platforming's perfect.

@Junghova I’m curious as to your reasons. I also started with the 2600 (I’m 54) and am increasingly getting less enamoured by games. Have bought a switch 2 but doubt I will play much except perhaps Mario & Zelda & have decided to let go of the PlayStation line (and any other future consoles) after the PS5.

Very cool to see someone try it. Although is there a meaningful, even detectable difference in 8K vs 4K at even relatively close viewing distances, i.e. 6ft from a 55” TV?

Does anyone know if this is going to have a 60fps option?

I'm enjoying this conversation thread and leaving the page open to see where it goes. I loved that era of gaming, and it's good to see the differing opinions.

I'm adoring the experience of going back to Quake 1 and 2 on my PS5, particularly for the 120fps, but am now used to the epic progression of story and environment of modern FPS games.

So I'm going back to them when I feel like revelling in that lovely visceral, not-overly-complex brutal gameplay of Quake 2, but it only lasts for a while until I have to put it down as I feel like I'm just clearing similar areas to go to the next one.

Brilliant, but for a single player story driven FPS that really sucks me in long term, something like the modern Wolfenstein games appeal to me more.

Still, I'll keep going back to Q1&2 just in short busts when I need that simple theraputic pleasure of wanton massacre.

@get2sammyb What's the best arcade tennis game?

This is the start of seeing the real benefits of having stuck with a physical game collection.

@danlk1ng @SolaceCreed Yes, I get that more I’ve calmed down I was just frustrated at the level of hate. It ideally it should’ve been £50. I might buy it later, but I feel the Joel & Ellie don’t look the same as the characters I know & love.

@Uncharted2007 Yes! Wish there were more adventures like this which are not overly bogged down with RPG mechanics.

Shame, they’re missing out on something that has no peer on their platform.

@Bobobiwan amazing, thanks for the input. I might do that back to back playthrough when I get part 1 😀

Part 2 was a masterpiece, but lost some of the warmth present in their other games, which made me feel less engaged with and absorbed in the game. TLOU2 really is an amazing achievement and a real Magnus opus of conflicting moralities, but I loved the camaraderie and togetherness of battling for good and the singularity of purpose of achieving a righteous goal in part 1 and the uncharted games.

Joel was a flawed character, but the resolving of his internal pain and his growing and eventually unshakeable parental love for Ellie was wonderful to see unfold in part 1 and made us look past his gruff exterior & see something much deeper in him. That added huge depth to his character in a heartfelt and evolving theme rather than making him so conflicted you couldn’t really fully like or relate to him. And for me, relating to a character is what makes me engage and feel absorbed in a game. Abby just wasn’t that for me.

That feel-good aspect of the singularity of purpose in the face of adversity is what I love about their games. I guess they thought that aspect had been played out, which I totally understand, but I hope they go back to that underlying principle and seek to expand their narrative in other ways.

Irrespective of everything, I feel sad at the hate the studio has received. Gaming would be a poorer place without their peerless mastery and delivery of some of the best adventure games ever made. I think we should be grateful for that and criticism should be respectful and constructive in the spirit of appreciation for what they’ve done.

To the developers - please bring out a 60fps patch or very close to 60 in VRR. I loved the last game, but like many others won’t buy this one until that frame rate is high enough. 1080p is perfectly fine.

This is criterion. If they’re anything like their old selves, this’ll be one of the best arcade racers of all time, and much much better than recent entries

I say start completely anew with the modern crystal dynamic magic. Remakes of old games would be tainted with old game design choices & mechanics. CD is a legendary team, let them flex their muscles with no restrictions & with a new story.

@marty8370 Have they found a way to make us so it’ll never be possible then?

@CRKFIEND Ahh interesting - can you elaborate? Are you talking about their choice to kill off Joel? (And is your username an abbreviation of crack fiend?)

To the people hating on Naughty dog for this game: It’s fine to express that the LOU remake is not for you, but I’m disgusted with the gaming community on how they’ve railed against this company. The company who’ve blessed us with some of the finest, most absorbing games ever created. And we turn around & ***** on them at the first opportunity? They’re releasing this for the PC market and players who haven’t played it yet. The upgrades are beautiful - they’re not forcing you to buy it, it’s there if you want it. If not, replay it on the PS4. They can hardly sell the PC version for full price, but give it to PS gamers for half price just in case you’ve played it. To the haters: be grateful Naughty dog exists & grow up. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

@get2sammyb for sure, you have some good points. I think Sony are buying a chip manufacturing facility are they not? Hopefully that’ll set things straight to a degree

Newer games get more recognition. Ghosts of Tsushima was a good game but game for game not as good as Uncharted 4. Not that it means everything but GOT was an 83% on metacritic.

Uncharted 4 is an older game, so I understand why the collection is at no. 5. But if it U4 was a newer release it'd be no. 1 for sure.

Interesting - it shows how unrealistic the PS5 game’s racing is. It’s too smooth; I expect one day, the jitter and nuanced movements of the cars will be much more accurately conveyed.

Every hardcore game collector has a nice clean OLED version in a protective case somewhere .

Love mine, most beautiful piece of hardware I’ve ever seen. To me, the design is so emblematic of everything I love about Sony & acts as a peak example of their mastery & style as a hardware designer.

@Fatewalker Exactly - as long as there’s a performance mode on every game that at least targets 60fps then I’m happy.

Very excite! Playing through the first game & its excellent, loving it. I wish there were more linear single player adventures out there but the sequel to this is looking fantastic - looks like they’re pushing the PS5 hard like they did with the original. Wonderful evocative art direction & atmosphere.

@ATaco definitely, it’s happening and will be sub 1 frame one day. And then sub 1ms eventually. They’re definitely doing the right thing with psnow, it can only get better. I’m a physical collector so it’s a bummer, yes. But as long as the games don’t disappear from the streaming lineup I guess I’m ok with it. Just as long as they keep the libraries permanent.

Love me some 100ms latency I’m no Xbox fan but give me gamepass over this any day. Please Sony do a gamepass equivalent. I prefer to own my games so wouldn’t use it, it I’m worried for the company’s future if you don’t compete. And as others have said, please put psnow on mobile

Thank god - developers please put 60fps above all else. My worry is that they stop giving the 60Hz option for future games

@SoulChimera. I join @MicHaeL_MonStaR in being alarmed by your attitude. I respect your immense power and can only imagine with awe the magnificence with which you yield it, but try to remember that great power must be tempered with great responsibility.

Great for preservation

Hopefully astrobot & moss will get a psvr2 upgrade and HL3 will get a port (prob not)

@wiiware Yes I remember being amazed by that lighting.

Now please give us quake 2 on PS5 with Ray tracing!

And a CRT mode with active shadow mask emulation to simulate a Voodoo accelerated PC from the 90s

Dreaming I know

@BionicDodo Nice! I’ll pick them up when they get a price drop.

Message to all development teams - hire him. Hire him now - pay him what he wants.

Now if they could raise the fun factor to the level of Colin McRae 2.0 on the PS1, they’d finally have the perfect rally game..
